Kanji for "Nothingness" or "No-thingness" grounds this piece and, although a kind of text, it parallels the often suggested calligraphic line found in many of the paintings.More information about the piece is found here.

Painting on clay or wood or canvas, each presents their own challenge and pleasure. With clay, the addition of heat, and expansion and contraction after the image/design is painted, often leads to surprizing shifts.

I am using Eskar Studio along with my business title for several reasons. The word Eskar, Irish for residual glacial traces and scarrings, embodies my work in clay and paint. Painting, the physical and the psychological experience, is both difficult and exciting. It regularly takes the imagination to coastal edges, demanding an attention and endurance through countless wipe outs, rebuilding of textures and composition, and through unconscious encounters with iconography or emotional color. Marks, scrapes and scars of color on both the three dimensional and flat surfaces cross over between clay, canvas, rock, wood. It's an inward journey where the path is never easy or wide.
